Hi,

A friend of mine finished his masters in the US and is currently on OPT working on project. He got a EAD extension this month. He had applied for a H1 Visa through a Company A last year and it is still pending with the USCIS. I would like to know if he can apply for a New H1 this year through Company B. I would really appreciate if someone could respond to my query ASAP.

Thank you.
